you dont need to be certified if you work at a school,
hotel,hospital,resort, amusement park. the only time you need to be
certified is if you work under a contractor who has a c-10 license.
Hospitals-casinos-hotels all are not under a c-10 license, so in this video
i wonder who is carrying the c-10 to have these workers work under that
license.﻿

Thank you for making this video. I just re certified and re read the
description of who must be certified . If you work on circuits that operate
at 100 va or watts for practical purposes , you MUST be certified in
California. Considering responsible employers would put safety first ,
getting the most knowledgeable , certified electricians is very important.
The law is clear on this . So , if you install a light fixture with 2 -60
watt light bulbs as an employee , you must be certified. There is a lesser
status lighting tech but it is not a certified general journeyman status as
described.﻿
